So which processor family should I choose when compiling the kernel? I'm not sure it's "Pentium Pro" or "Core 2 / newer Xeon".

Hi fangwen,
If the cpuinfo above was raised with the gentoo boot CD, your processor family is "Generic-x86-64".

I ran this command under Ubuntu. There is no "Generic-x86-64" option.

| Sorry for the wrong information. This thread was also useful for me cause the CPU I am running is "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7" and I have been using the "Generic-x86-64" option with the kernel 2.6.36-gentoo-r8. I understood that such option is not available anymore for newer kernels. Anyway, thanks. |
